Scope and Content Philiphaugh Sawmill, Selkirk, Selkirkshire This was a group of single-storey buildings, the oldest of which is a piend-roofed rubble building containing a low-breast, all-iron waterwheel 3.7 by 4.6m, with gear-rim drive to a rack saw-bench by DM Wallace & Sons, Kelso, in a wooden building. This view shows the self-clearing weir providing the head of water for the wheel in its house on the right, with the mill beyond. When was in use the sluice to the left of the wheelhouse was closed, and one leading to the wheel was opened. This was one of the broadest waterwheels in use in Scotland in the 1970s.
